Tension Quick Start

Threading the Machine
Janome recommends that you select and use only high-quality threads for your quilts.
To thread the machine
1. Place thread cone onto spool post
①
on the thread tray, insert the thread through the
thread-mast eyelet
②
from back to front, continuing to the thread guide
③.
2. Continue to the three-hole thread guide
④.
Wrap all three holes from back to front, being
careful not to cross threads. This is recommended for most threads. However, some very
delicate threads or metallic threads may require less tension. If you are having problems
with thread breaking, try threading only one or two holes of three-hole thread guide.
3. The thread continues down to thread guide
⑤
just above the top tension and then on to
the top tension assembly
⑥.
Â
IMPORTANT
: The thread must be flossed up between the two tension discs. If the thread
is not firmly in place between the two tension discs, the thread will lay on top of the
tension discs (no tension) and thread looping on the bottom of the quilt can occur.
